Mike Tomlin Doesn't Get It

Especially near the goal line because typically a safety is too far back to make a play on a slant, but they're not even in the game down there.  You could argue that the guy covering the inside receiver could have made the play, but Warner didn't check him, either.  Warner STARED down the receiver from the snap to the throw.  

Tell me how that's making a great play and not something a five-year-old could anticipate just by looking at Warner and thinking "oh, he's going to throw the ball right where he's staring!"  Even the Steelers player they interviewed said he realized that he couldn't make the blitz (which he's in the shotgun on the goal line, it's not rocket science that he won't have the ball long enough for you to get pressure) so he just fell back, and then Warner threw it right to him after telegraphing what he was doing.  He made a common sense play, not a great play.

You keep digging yourself in deeper by being wrong again and again.

Lol, there is no time to STARE down a receiver on that play. It's literally bang-bang. That ball was in Harrisons hands in less than 2 seconds after it was snapped. Warner had less than 1 second to make up his mind to throw the ball. Harrison is a known rusher. Harrisons assignment was to rush. Harrisons first step was toward the backfield which was within that first second when Warner had to make his decision. Harrison sold it. It was a great play. Everyone knows it. You're on an island here, but you always are. 

Maybe your lack of knowledge is why you stopped playing QB in 9th grade and was relegated to water boy?
